Hi Doc,
Would you please add the eight “definite themes” you’ve identified in the de Vere Bible that “the annotator seems clearly preoccupied with” to your Bible FAQs… Thanks!!

1. The responsibilities of the rich and powerful.
2. The virtue of charity.
3. The evils of usury.
4. The nature of sin.
5. Prophecy.
6. The value of secret works.
7. The nature of providence in eschatological end times.
8. The nature of proper speech.

Good morning, Bella. I wouldn’t say that it is impossible that a Catholic would have owned a Geneva Bible, but I would also say:

1) The authorship question has, in my opinion, long since passed beyond such hypotheticals;
2) We’re now looking at a particular Geneva Bible, once owned and annotated by the 17th Earl of Oxford
3) It shows many tangible and telling connections to the works of Shakespeare
4) These connections are part of a much larger pattern of connective tissue that has been developed over the last ninety years suggesting that Oxford is the real author of the canon.

Therefore, discussions about who might possibly have owned what kinds of Bible, while they may be entertaining in their own right, have little relevance to the actual fact pattern that the Oxfordians have brought forward for consideration. For further details, please consult Looney online, or find a copy of Anderson, Ogburn, etc.

Thanks for the question!

It was my understanding that when Queen Elizabeth, all ( if not most variables) og the good book were allowed. So one could argue that Shakespeare (although catholic), may in fact owned a Geneva bible..what say you?
